This and an alignment.

@csgmike
I want to see real testing on brake cooling kits. Real data on kits or even a CSG kit would be amazing!

All bushings replaced with spherical bearings. I bet with R-comps the difference in bushings will be night and day. It was for me.

i have some somewhat scientific data on that. i drive the same road pretty often, and was boiling my fluid on it every time, and after Arrows japan brake cooling ducts, it would no longer boil the same fluid, and the discs put off noticeably less heat according to my CBHS(calibrated back of hand sensor).
it wasnt till i drove tsukuba for 20 min strait that i needed to upgrade my fluid to a more track oriented option.

You boiled fluid in street driving?!?

troek · 02-10-2014, 04:16 AM

no it was a mountain road, not a street

. its fairly acceptable to drive "aggressively" in the mountains here. one road is even owned by toyo tires.
almost all corners have mirrors, and when yous see another set of headlights both cars slow down for the turn.

That's really cool, I'm jealous.

What's traffic enforcement like there? Is it basically every man/woman for themselves?

troek · 02-10-2014, 05:05 AM

Haha no its very serious, It depends on the road/time of day. But its kind of dont cause a problem there wont be a problem kind of thing. Speed limit is 80k on highway but most drive 120-140k. As long as ur flowing with traffic ur fine. But lets get this thread back on track, sorry for the interruption

Wake up at 5:00 am - put on the leathers.
Grab hot coffee at the Ebina Parking Area on the Tomei.
Watch out for cops on the Odawara/Atsugi Road, painful to ride at 80k!
Ride the Hakone Turnpike - for an hour or so from 6:30 am
Get coffee at Daikanyama, the top of the Hakone Turnpike/Tsubaki line junction
Scratch with the hashiriya on the Tsubaki Line for an hour or so - U-turn at the tree in the middle of the road.
Grab yamakake soba at Daikanyama
Ride the Ashinoko Skyline for an hour or so then the Hakone Turnpike again to the Odawara/Atsugi Road. Watch out for the speed trap near the bridge. Put the hammer down on the Tomei and get back home to Tokyo

Ofuro and room service.

Talk of Tsukuba got me reminiscing.
Fast at Tsukuba is technique.
Fast at Fuji is balls.
Please talk to us of Focus St/Fiesta St manners on the track - fun - no fun? Good - no good?
Domo.
